Be it known that 1, Louis STOOKSTROM, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in OiLStoves, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

My invention relates to improvements in oil stoves.

The object of my invention is to provide an oil stove in which the burners can e readily moved outwardly from beneath the top of the stove and supported for the purpose of cleaning or re-wicking without disconnecting the burners from the oil tank.

Another object of my invention is to provide a simple, cheap and more effective means to accomplish this result and having certain details of structure hereinafter more fully set forth.

In the accompanying drawing: Figure 1 is a front elevation oi my improved oil range embodying my invention and shown partly in section to show the. supporting means in the movable burner supporting pan. Fig. 2 is a detached perspective view of the burner supportingpan partly broken away and showing the specific means for supporting the oil tank.

Referring now to the drawings, 1. represents the base of my improved oil stove, which, as shown, is supported by the legs Carried by the upper face of the base 1 are shuulai'ds 3, supporting; the top 4: of the stove. \Vhile I have shown my device as applied to an oil range, it will be understood that the same principle can be applied to a one, two or three burner stove without departing vfrom my invention. In the form shown supported by the top l is the oven 5, arranged at one side of the heating burners 6 and 7. Below the oven 5 are the two burners 8 and 9, constructedprecisely like the burners 6 and 7 and are intended to heat the oven-5, as clearly shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings.

. The base 1 is provided at each end with a plate 10, having at its upper end the in wa'rdly turned flange 11, and secured to the lower face of the plate 10 is a strip 12 and the space 13 between the inwardly turned flange 11 and the the movable pan 14.

strip forms a guide for Each end of the base is provided .with plates 10 and'strips 12 to form guides at each end, as will be hereina fter more fully described. The rear standards form stops to limit the inward movement of the pan, whereby the burners are in their proper positions when the pan is moved inwardly.

The pan lat, as shown, to the space between the plates width equal to that of the base 1, and is formed of a flat sheet of metal having at its ends the upwardly turned flange 16, and at the rear edge an upwardly turned flange 17. The flange 16, as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawin is of a width equal to the space between t 1e plate 11 and the strips 12,whereby the pan can be easily moved in or out within the guide-way drawings. I

The pan 14, adjacent its ends, 's provided with brackets 18 and 19, in which is mounted an oil-supply pipe 20, carrying the burners 6, 7, 8 and 9. This pipe is rigidly supported by the brackets 18 and 19 and likewise the burners 6, 7, 8 and 9 are rigidly supported by the pipe, and when the pan is in its inward position, the burners are in their proper position in respect to the top 4 and the oven 5 of: the stove. The pipe 20 beyond the bracket 19, is provided with a crank 21;which is turned outwardly as indicated at 22, and is further supported by a bra'clzet 23, carried by the bottom of the pan 14-. The bracket 23 has an upwardly extpnding arm 24., which supports a an or bracket in which is supported a g ass oil tank 26. The outer end of the pipe 22 has a removable connection 27, which has its outer end rigidly connected to the tank supporting The oil from the tank 26' isfed through the connection 27 and the pipe 22 to the pipe 20. The pipe 20 has separated connections 28, 29, 30 and 81 with the respective burners 6, 7, 8 and 9, for supplying the burners with oil, as is well understood by those skilled in the art. The tank 26 is the oil is fed by gravity to the. burners, which is clearly shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings.

Fronithe foregoing description it will be seen that the tank and all the burners are supported by the pan 14 and the crank 21 of the oil-supply pipe 20 is set back adjacent is of a length equal 10 and of a 13, as shown in Fig. 1 of the also located so that the rear edge of the pan, be moved outwardly until the straight portion 22 of the oil-supply pipe 20 strikes the standard 3 adjacent thereto. When the pan has been moved outwardly so that its movement is limited by the pipe 22, the burners are in a position beyond the top 4-, of the stove, so that they can be readily cleaned or new Wicks placed therein.

- l/Vhile I call. the member 14;, a pan, it will be understood that this could be made in a flat plateor an iron rack or framework without departing from my invention.

By this construction it will be seen that all of the burners are simultaneously moved outwardly from beneath the top of the stove and the tank is likewise moved outwardly, thus preventing the breaking of joints or the disconnection of the tank from the burners when it is desired to clean the burners or replacing the wicks. While I have shown and described this specific form for accomplishing my results, it will be understood that the same can be varied without departing from my invention.

Having thus described I claim and desire to cut is:

1. The combination with a stove, of a movable member supported thereby, burners supported by saidmovable member, an oil supply pipe for supplying oil to the my invention, wh at secure by Letters Patburners having a rearwardly extending portion above the movable member, and having its outer end turned outwardly beyond the end of the stove and an oil tank supported by the outer end of said pipe whereby the movable member may be drawn outwardly to bring the burners from beneath the top of the stove.

2. The combination with a stove, of a movable member supported thereby, an oil supply pipe extending across the member,

urners supported by said pipe, one end of the, said pipe having a rearwardly extending portion above the movable member havmg its outer end turned outwardly, an oil tank supported by the outer end of the said pipe beyond the end of the stove, whereby the movable member may be drawn out- Wardly to bring the burners from beneath the top of the stove.

3. The combination with a stove, of a lighting member carried thereby, burners supported by the said member beneath the top of the stove, an oil supply pipe tor the said burners having one end extending rear- Wardly above themember and having its extreme outer end turned outwardly, and a tank supported by the outer end of the said pipe beyond'the end of the stove, whereby the removable member may be drawn outvwardly to bring the burners out from be neath the top of the stove.
